Episode description
In this episode we set the scene for what would become the Iran-Contra Affair by exploring two distinct conflicts in the 1980s: the revolt of the Contras against the Sandanistas in Nicaragua, and the Iran-Iraq War. This background is vital to understanding one of the largest intelligence gaffes in United States history. Paul McGeown returns as guest.
